Commedia De'll Arte

As we have our performance on Monday, we decided to use this lesson to make sure we have everything for sorted. We began with props, we decided what props we needed (e.g- saucepans, plastic cups etc.) and who would be in charge of getting them.
We then moved onto scenes, we decided we wanted to add more scenes into our piece. We decided that we needed more Lazzis to ensure we stuck to the style of Commedia dell'arte throughout our piece.


We went through our scenes and worked out which ones were already Lazzi's, we have 'Olive Oil cocktail' as a Lazzi, we decided we wanted to add another Lazzi as one wasn't enough.
We came up with our 'plate disaster'  scene. This scene included Zanni and Brighella walking around the restaurant. As Brighella picks up a plate from a customer and gives it to Zanni, he licks it puts it back down on the table.
